Print a Whole Adventuring Party: Ordering Custom Minis for Your Table

There is a particular kind of satisfaction when every character at the table has a miniature that actually looks like them – and better still, when the whole party looks like it belongs together. Order minis one at a time, months apart, and you end up with a mismatched shelf: different scales, different bases, different finishes. Order the party as a set and it reads as one cohesive group. This is a short guide to doing exactly that: turning your whole adventuring party into custom minis that match.

Why order the party together

Ordering as a coherent set has a few real advantages over piecemeal buying, none of which require an invented discount to matter:

  • Consistent scale. A party looks right when the fighter and the halfling wizard are in proportion to each other. Choosing one size for the group keeps everyone to the same scale.
  • Matching bases and finish. Ordered together, the minis share the same base style and finish, so they look like a set rather than a random collection.
  • One shipment. A single order means one dispatch and one delivery, rather than tracking parcels arriving weeks apart.
  • One creative session. You describe the whole group at once while the campaign is fresh in your mind, instead of re-explaining your art direction five separate times.

How the custom mini order works

Our custom D&D miniature service is built for exactly this. You can order a full adventuring party set, or start with one character and use the add-a-second-character option to build the group up. Each mini comes from a reference – a description or an image of the character – and you pick the size and finish. The result is AI-assisted and then artist-finished: our engine routes the model, and on the hand-finished tier our artists clean it up before it ships. You are choosing the look and the scale; we handle the printing.

Sizes and per-mini pricing

Custom minis are priced per figure by height and finish. Two tiers are available to order today – Studio (full-colour FDM, auto-cleaned) and Signature (the Most chosen tier, hand-finished by our artists) – with a hand-painted resin tier (Atelier) marked coming soon. Here are the current per-mini prices in Canadian dollars:

Height Role Studio (CAD) Signature (CAD)
4 cm Mini $37 $49
6 cm Best (the common table size) $67 $89
8 cm Display $97 $129
10 cm Centerpiece $127 $169
13-15 cm Hero $179 $239

A worked example: a party of five

Say you have a five-person party and you want them all at the 6 cm size, which is the common table scale. In Studio that is 5 x $67 = $335; in the hand-finished Signature tier it is 5 x $89 = $445. Prefer to make the party’s leader stand out? You might put four characters at 6 cm Signature ($89 each) and one hero at the 8 cm Display size in Signature ($129), which comes to (4 x $89) + $129 = $485. The point of the exercise is not a fixed package price – it is that you can plan the whole table’s cost up front from the per-mini rates, mix sizes to suit the characters, and order it all in one go. (Prices are current as of writing; check the live page for the latest.)

What to send us for a whole party

Getting five good minis is easier when you prepare the references together. For each character, have ready: a clear description or reference image, the class or role, any signature gear or pose that matters, and a colour note if the character has a distinctive palette. Deciding on a single group size before you start keeps everyone in proportion. If one character is meant to loom over the others – a towering barbarian, say – flag it, and you can bump just that figure up a size.

When it arrives

Everything is printed and finished here in Laval, Quebec. Most orders ship within 2 to 5 business days, and once dispatched, Canadian deliveries typically arrive within 3 to 7 business days – as one shipment, printed domestically, with no cross-border customs to clear. You can see how the party fits with terrain, dice towers, and the rest of the range on our tabletop gaming hub.

Turnaround and planning ahead

Because each mini is made to order, a party takes a little longer to produce than pulling stock figures off a shelf – and that is worth planning around if you are aiming for a particular session. Most orders ship within 2 to 5 business days, and there is a rush option (24 to 48 hours) if you need the party in a hurry, though giving the artists a bit more time is the calmer way to go. If your campaign is ongoing, a good approach is to order the core party first and add characters later as new companions, hirelings, or rivals join the story – the figures will still match if you keep to the same size and finish.

Why a matched party is worth it

It is a small thing that changes how a table feels. When the whole party shares a scale, a base style, and a finish, they read as a team the moment they are set down – the group looks intentional rather than assembled from whatever was available. For a campaign you have been playing for months or years, that cohesion is a fitting way to mark the characters you have brought to life together, and it photographs far better too when someone wants a shot of the whole group.

FAQ

Can I order a whole D&D party as one set?

Yes. The custom miniature service has a full adventuring party set option, and you can also start with one character and use the add-a-second-character option to build up the group. Ordering together keeps the party consistent in scale and finish and arrives as one shipment.

How much does a party of custom minis cost?

It depends on size and finish, because minis are priced per figure. At the common 6 cm table size, Studio is $67 CAD each and the hand-finished Signature tier is $89 CAD each, so a party of five runs $335 in Studio or $445 in Signature. You can mix sizes to make some characters stand out.

Will all the minis match in scale?

Yes, if you choose one size for the group. Ordering the party together at a single scale is exactly how you avoid the mismatched look you get from buying figures one at a time over months.

Can some characters be bigger than others?

Absolutely. You can bump an individual figure up a size – a hero or a towering character at the 8 cm Display or larger – while keeping the rest of the party at the common table size. You choose the size per figure.

Are these AI-generated minis?

They are AI-assisted and artist-finished. Our engine routes the model from your reference, and on the hand-finished Signature tier our artists clean and finish each piece before it ships. You direct the look; the process handles the rest.

How fast will a party order arrive in Canada?

Most orders ship within 2 to 5 business days from our Laval, Quebec facility, and once dispatched, Canadian deliveries typically arrive within 3 to 7 business days. It comes as one domestic shipment, so there are no customs delays.
